Abstract
Despite Legionella spp. frequently contaminate water distribution systems of private and public buildings, the risk of infection/disease among workers is scarcely known. A multicentric survey was carried out to evaluate the seroprevalence of Legionella antibodies in different exposure risk groups accurately studying the related risk factors. Pneumonia events in the last 5 years and flu-like symptoms in the last year were also recorded.
